This is sung every day about thy head against headache. After
singing it thou puttest thy spittle into thy palm, and thou puttest it
round thy two temples and on thy occiput, and thereat thou singest thy
15 paternoster thrice, and thou puttest a cross of thy spittle on the crown
of thy head, and then thou makest this sign, U, on thy head.
d. Against various ailments.
I save the dead-alive^. Against eructation, against spear-thong (amen- tum), against sudden tumour, against bleedings caused by iron^, against... ao which fire burns, against..." which a dog eats, ...that withers: three nuts that ... three sinews that weave' (?). I strike its disease, I vanquish blood... : let it not be a chronic tumour^ Whole be that whereon it (Diancecht's salve) goes. I put my trust' in the salve which Diancecht" left with his family that whole may be that whereon it goes.
This is laid always in thy palm full of water when washing, and thou puttest it into thy mouth, and thou insertest the two fingers that are next the little-finger into thy mouth, each of them apart". [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
